Bravo to all who have ventured to put nettles on their plate this week! We've received plenty of comments about the nettles and would encourage everyone to check the recipe blog for more ideas on how to enjoy the wild greens. For me, there is something beyond taste to the experience of foraged foods - something to do with harvesting and being nourished by what was unplanned and freely given.
We made the cream of nettle soup from the hand-out you provided and added potato but didn't strain it-- kept the nettles in the pot. Delicious! Thank you for this special treat.
ReplyDeleteI was brave last night. Had guests for dinner and made the soup recipe...rave reviews! I however, did "rub" it through a colander.
ReplyDeleteWe are so thankful that you braved the sting to bring us nettles to our plates! We simply steamed them down and added butter - heavenly!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the leftover water did go to some of our own seedlings waiting to get into the soil.
Thanks again!
